An Irish Boat Trip with DC Shoes

Crab Island is just one of the great spots you could surf off the boat in Ireland.
I know Ireland is not top of most surfer's trip calendar, but it really should be. The place is magical and the waves are epic!
In 2012 Captain Matt Knight, an accomplished surfer, sailor and adventurer finished working on his 52' Wharram Catamaran, converting it from a warm climate pleasure cruiser to a hardy and protected cold climate exploration vessel.
In the Autumn of 2012, the DC shoes U.K team chartered "Hecate" on her first cold water surf adventure.
The surfers on board were Luke Dillon, Jobe Harriss and Matts son Taz Knight.
This is the story of that first trip, and what is set to be the start of some great adventures.

BMX riding on Satellite Dishes - Vasya Lukyanenko 2012


Talk about an original venue for riding your bike! Following his spectacular ride along the roof of a skyscraper in Kiev in 2010, BMX star Vasya Lukyanenko recently took things to the next level as he headed for the Ukrainian National Space Centre in Yevpatoria to demonstrate his bike skills on the huge radar dishes.

He made his way to the National Spacecraft Control and Testing Centre outside the city of Yevpatoria on the Ukraine's eastern coast for a BMX session unlike any other ever seen before.
